I put on my birth plan she was allowed but to ask me if I change my mind. I love my mother in law just not sure how I'll feel that day. She has her heart set on being there she even wants a tattoo in dedication to my son. So it's hard not to say no. Hopefully I'll be OK the day of the big push.

Im going through the same thing.. I already told my soon to be mil she could be but I'm feeling different ... You have to remember during delivery this is not a time to care about anyone's feelings except yours.. Everyone will have to get over it...Also you could just say the hospital wont allow it... Or wait until the time and have the nurses not let anyone back.

just tell her that you and your man has decided to let the birth be a private affair . This way no one gets left out. It will just be you and him until after the delivery.
